That Fateful Night
That Fateful Night……
The nightfall makes my mind to shudder with fear,
I remember that night crystal clear,
I was approaching to attend a knock on the door,
I did not stop until I heard a loud roar.
All of a sudden the hall became dark
But I could see an approaching flame spark
The tree outside was wavering in the wind
And I was hiding under the sofa with a sharp knife
I thought it was the last day of my life
The rush of adrenaline made me come out
I, making it out alive was a complete doubt
And then I hear a painful shout
It tore through my ears
I realized it was gone but my fear remained
The walls of my house blood stained
My heart was throbbing with guilt
Now my life was ruined, I was like silt
At a corner, I see his corpse
I then decide to ride away on my horse
I try to keep up my pace
But when I close my eyes I only see his bruised face
I knew I had committed a crime
And it felt right at that time
I close my eyes and all the memories play in my brain
I throw myself in the pathway of a speeding train
My legs were shaking with the train’s speed
But I pay it no heed
The train launches forward on me and I fall down covered in a pool of blood
Now I have cleansed my soul and started a new life
I am everywhere, starting from the clouds, stars and the skies
You see me on the lawn and in everyone
Now I am all and none.
